Sword God in a World of Magic

Alex walked towards the area where the giant octopus had landed.

He didn't want to miss out on any potential rewards the hedgehog had for him.

While Alex was walking to that place, he looked at his left arm.

His left arm was no longer frozen, and it actually felt a bit hot. Sadly, his left arm was still severely injured. The freezing of organic material completely destroyed its structure, severing veins, and many other things.

Alex's left arm hadn't been in pain while it had been frozen, but as soon as it had thawed, Alex felt searing pain coming from it.

Alex couldn't really move it much, but he could still experiment with it.

The ethereal spire had entered Alex's left arm, and it remained there. He had already accidentally shot some cold air out of his left arm earlier, and Alex wanted to know how that worked.

Alex was already familiar with how it felt to move Mana, and he willed for the cold Mana in his left arm to explode.

SSSHH!

A blast of cold air left Alex's left arm. Since his left arm was still limply hanging around, the cold hit part of Alex's left leg and the ground.

The ice below Alex's left arm grew by a bit, and the coat on Alex's left leg completely froze.

However, Alex was too busy with something else.

As soon as Alex had willed the Ice Mana to explode, his arm started to burn. Well, it wasn't burning literally, but it felt like it was burning.

Alex quickly ran to one of the spots with destroyed ice. The octopus had destroyed a huge part of the lake when it had surfaced.

SSSSSS!

Alex put his arm directly into the icy water and gritted his teeth. The sound of something hot touching cold water could be heard as soon as Alex's arm hit the water.

'Fuck! That's so hot!' Alex thought. 'Are you serious?! You have Mana, and you follow the Laws of Thermodynamics?! You want to make stuff cold, so you have to make other stuff hot?! Why can't you just do something magical?!'

After a while, Alex pulled his arm out and moved it through the air for a bit.

His arm had received several burns.

However, it was coated with a thin coating of ice now.

His arm definitely felt colder than before.

'My arm is colder than before. So, let's try again!'

SSSHH!

Another blast of cold air, and Alex immediately dipped his arm into the cold water again.

'It's not as hot as previously, but it still feels like I touched a hot plate or something,' Alex concluded.

After a while, Alex pulled his arm out again.

'I wonder, can I use less?'
